This hotel represents outstanding value in one of the most expensive cities in the world, the room the view and the service were all first class. After eating out several times in average restaurants that were expensive we decided to eat at the MET restaurant within the hotel, it was one of the best meals we have ever had and... More

We arrived at the beautiful and somewhat edgy Metropole Hotel by private water taxi that delivered us to the hotel's private dock. The location overlooking the grand canal is perfect yet once you enter the hotel you are in an oasis removed from the tourist scene. The hotel is decorated with impressive collections of antiques from Venice's noble past. The... More

We stayed at the Metropole for two nights with our 14 and 11 year old daughters. The Metropole offers a family room that easily sleeps four which was perfect for us. The downside was a view of the building next door. Prior to arrival I arranged a private water taxi to the hotel from the airport through the concierge. Very... More

We stayed in Rome, Florence, and Venice in hotels of the samer rating an the Metropole was BY FAR the best of the bunch. We weren't enamoured with Venice as a whole, but the hotel was great and the staff was incredible. I was overwhelmed by tourists all over Venice, but the staff at Metropole was the friendliest in Italy... More

We stayed at the Metropole for three nights in October 2011. Since our flight arrived in the evening we organised a pickup from the hotel, which was a great experience arriving at the Metropole's own little jetty in a canal off the grand canal. The room was nice, with a great bathroom. We had a balcony with views across the... More

My husband spent the week there to celebrate my birthday. It was our first visit, we usually stay at the Danielli. This hotel was perfect. The staff kind and helpful, and not grumpy and suffering from tourism burnout, as they do at the Danielli. Everyone was cheerful, service spot on and the breakfast and bar wonderful. I was very surprised... More

Just fantastic, Really nice looking, very very cool! More

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8zUo7-lmHQ&feature=related A jewel. The Metropole is one of the jewels in the crown of five star Venetian Hotels. It is visually stunning with a location that is prime. Staff is courteous, helpful and well informed. The Metropole is expensive but worth every euro; balcony and terrace rooms are worth the extra. My Youtube video of the common rooms is attached... More

The hotel is very well-located, three bridges from St Mark's Square. Rooms are comfortable and quiet. The buffette breakfast can be taken in their lovely garden and transport to the airport by water taxi is convenient, if very expensive at 110 euros. The staff are helpful but our room was not ready till 2 p.m. More
